Phil,
I tried to make .xsession using pico. I cant see the file though.
My file actually uses these paths.
#! /bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xbiff
/exec /usr/lib/X11/fvwm95-2
How do I run that startup file?
I tried /.xsession but got permission denied.
For the flavor of unix I am running? It is redhat 4.2 with kernel source of
2.0.35
Any tips?
Thanks,
Joe Fialkowski
